The Essence of the Maya Cosmic Institute

The Maya
 
The Maya Civilization is considered to be one of the best known great civilizations, rich in history, culture and expansion. The Maya were a highly advanced people who were experts in astronomy and mathematics, and who developed extremely accurate calendrical systems and detailed hieroglyphic writing. They formed well established societies with a solid religious and political structure and were also highly skilled farmers and masters in agriculture. The Maya constructed outstanding and elaborate architectural structures which included temples, pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built unfathomably without metal tools. They also created beautifully ornate jewellery, textiles, pottery and fascinating works of art, many of which are now housed in museums across the world, leaving us with tangible testimony of their enigmatic history.

Family life and spirituality were the core of Maya society. Their daily life, activities, rituals and ceremonies were inextricably linked to all things sacred. Their cardinal point directions, colours, plants, and numbers were rich with meaning and significance and closely related to their deities. The Maya had a deep respect for the natural world around them and developed an abundance of knowledge in plant and natural medicine. They acknowledged that spirit was in everything and revered the energies and guardians in their surrounding environment and worked with these spiritual elements throughout their daily life and in sacred rites.

Opposed to popular belief, the Maya never disappeared. During the time of the conquistadores and European settlers, some Maya elders learned to merge their past traditions and knowledge, holding the essence of the ancient Maya teachings to be passed on to us today. Many of their written records were burned and destroyed, however, fortunately much of their knowledge continued to be passed down orally through the generations and is available to us today, if we know where to look.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the Maya Cosmic Institute, to learn firsthand the sacred wisdom teachings of the Maya. Deepen your awareness, awaken your consciousness, and discover all the hidden secrets and prophecies which will be revealed through these teachings.
 
Maya Cosmic Institute Mission
 
Our mission is to share the sacred Maya teachings through the study of their science, art, philosophy, and religion, as it is found in the ceremonies, rituals, mantras, sacred books, pyramids, temples, stelae, pottery, paintings, sculptures and oral traditions that are available to us today. Each one is a unique masterpiece that helps us transcend from the physical/material level and rise to the level of the soul and spirit.

The Maya Cosmic Institute offers courses and programs in the following subjects: Maya Sacred Cosmovision Maya Sacred Philosophy Maya Gods and Goddesses and their Sacred Symbolism Spiritual Understanding of the Maya Sacred Geometry Maya Calendars and their Sacred Symbolism Maya Astronomers and their Astronomy in the Land of Yucatán Chichen Itza: The Male Maya Cosmic Institute Uxmal: The Female Maya Cosmic Institute The Awakening and Re-activation of the Seven Chakras Using the Maya Glyphs and Mantras Sacred Rituals and Ceremonies of the Ancient Maya Maya Prophecies Maya Shamanic Teachings In our programs we derive our information directly from the source to find the essence of the Maya knowledge once more. Our goal is to share the message of light from the Maya teachers who are guiding us to the sac-be of the stars, linking us with the sun and the moon.

About Your Teachers


Founder and Teacher - Miguel Angel Vergara Calleros
Miguel Angel Vergara Calleros is a Mayan Cultural Teacher and leading authority on Chichen Itza and the pyramid of K'u-Kuul-Kaan. He is the author of several books on the Maya including two on Chichen Itza. He was Coordinator of Cultural Services for the Yucatán State Government and the Director of Chichen Itza for four years.

Miguel Angel studied for 17 years with Mayan elder, Don Vincente Martin, who was a wisdom keeper, professional teacher and artist. He then became a master in his own right, known as Master Nazul, and now teaches seminars in Mexico and abroad on Mayan astronomy, philosophy, calendar, glyphs and symbols, medicine, cosmovision, traditions and prayers, ceremonies and healing. Miguel Angel teaches us how to connect with the masters of light who are available to teach and guide us now, as in ancient times. He conducts tours to the Mayan sacred sites so that we can experience first-hand the powerful activating energies of those areas. His knowledge and experience make the journeys come alive as we begin to understand how the messages were imprinted, what the glyphs mean, how the buildings were used, and how the ceremonies were conducted.

Miguel Angel teaches in a heart-centered style that connects rapidly and profoundly with his audience. Those who experience him realize they are in the presence of a master and are being given an extraordinary gift. Guest Teacher - Michele Maggiora
Michele Maggiora, a professional artist and teacher originally from California, found her way to the Yucatan and the energy of the Mayas, three years ago. An artist since age three, she also has been a "seeker" of the spiritual for most of her adult life.  Now, the time of seeking is over. Now is the Time to act...to do the work of transformation. Along with transforming herself, she acts as a mentor/ teacher and intends that her visual art hold and project the light. "It is time to collapse the duality of matter and spirit - to infuse matter with the light. We are midwives helping to bring humanity into the vibration of God."

Course Description
 
Maya Summer Solstice Intensive This is an intensive program with Miguel Angel to connect deeply with the energies of the Solstice at Chichen Itza and activate our consciousness. There will be a limited number of participants all focusing on receiving the energy of the Sun, grounding it in the Earth, and learning how to live in harmony with our Mother Earth. Consciousness is to be present at the moment. The purpose of this workshop is the activation of our consciousness to bring forth a world of beauty, light, love, and harmony. Working with the Ancient Wisdom of the Maya, Miguel Angel will help us raise our vibration to activate our consciousness through teachings, ceremonies, meditations, visits to the site, and specific practices.

We find ourselves in an extremely imbalanced world, a world we created unconsciously. This is the point in time the Maya Calendars predicted. Upon completing a huge cycle of evolution we are now standing at the precipice, and being that we are all connected in oneness, we all affect and are being affected by the energies of the universe. Join us to learn to use the energies of the Solstice for the conscious creation of a world at peace and in harmony with Mother Earth.
